The pillars Po Tian had summoned could draw upon the power of Heaven and Earth Great Dao and the energy of the cosmos, condensing them into a barrier. The barrier was like an independent Small World, almost completely cut off from the outside. That was why Ling Tian couldn't teleport out through the corpse ghosts.
The barrier formed by the eight pillars was backed by the pure, abundant power of Heaven and Earth Great Dao in the You Hun Realm, while the Divine Origin Stones continuously supplied Divine Yuan Power. Its defenses were astonishingly strong. Even a full-force blow from Ling Tian's You Ye Heavy Halberd probably couldn't destroy it.
Worse, the barrier could slowly shrink, leaving Ling Tian less and less room to move. If Po Tian unleashed his Asura Dharma Aspect, Ling Tian would be in grave danger.
That was why Ling Tian had decided to destroy the barrier first. In his current condition, the only attack he could use that threatened it was the Merged Entity Arrow.
Po Tian, however, wasn't about to give him the chance. He sent his Phantom Clones swarming in to attack, and also used the Soul Thread secret technique to restrict Ling Tian's movements.
In Po Tian's eyes, he had already isolated the Soul Devouring Arrow outside the barrier, so Ling Tian would have a hard time dealing with those Soul Threads.
"Cackle, cackle! Master, can I make a move now?" Seeing the Soul Threads spread toward them again, the Corpse Incense Demon Lotus grew excited.
"You can, but don't show yourself. You're not faster than the Soul Devouring Arrow. It wouldn't be good if Po Tian killed you," Ling Tian warned. "Just attach yourself to me and clear away all the Soul Threads within a dozen yards or so."
"Got it."
